product name PAC-1
Description: First procaspase-activating compound (PAC-1) is a small-molecule activator of procaspase-3 that directly catalyzes the maturation of procaspase-3 to the active caspase-3 by inducing the cleavage of procaspase-3 in a time-dependent manner. Study results have demonstrated that PAC-1 is able to induce cell death in both primary cancerous cells and adjacent normal tissues with 50% inhibition concentration IC50 values ranging from 0.003 to 1.41 μM and 5.02 to 9.98 μM respectively.
